Four hundred and eight sows were used to evaluate the effects of feeding high levels of vitamins (2 to 7 times average inclusion
rate) for the first 35 d postbreeding on later reproduction performance. number of pigs born ...

When eating the same amount of feed, pair-fed pigs were more efficient at using nutrients for growth than pigs injected with
lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Approximately 2/3

Nursery pigs fed complex diets had greater ADG than those fed simple diets, and as particle size was reduced, ADG and F/G
tended to improve. There was a trend for
reducing particle size to increase ADG more
for pigs fed ...

As test weight was reduced from normal to intermediate (i.e., from 58 to 52 lb/bu),
little change occurred in milling characteristics of grain sorghum. However, as test weight was decreased from intermediate to light (52 ...

Using a 50:50 blend of spray-dried plasma protein (SDPP):spray-dried wheat gluten (WG) (i.e., with each as approximately 4% of the diet) gave the greatest ADG and ADFI, while reducing diet costs compared to the control ...
